#Imbolc or #Imbolg (#Irish pronunciation: [ə ˈmˠɔlˠəɡ]), also called Saint Brigid's Day (Irish: Lá Fhéile Bríde; #Scottish #Gaelic: Là Fhèill Brìghde; #Manx: Laa'l Breeshey), is a Gaelic traditional festival on 1 February. It marks the beginning of #spring, and in Christianity, it is the feast day of Saint Brigid, #Ireland's patroness saint. Historically, its many folk #traditions were widely observed throughout Ireland, #Scotland and the Isle of Man. Imbolc falls about halfway between the winter solstice and the spring equinox and is one of the four Gaelic seasonal festivals, along with Bealtaine, Lughnasadh and Samhain.

Following the discovery of a near-complete carnyx at an Iron Age hoard in west Norfolk, we hear a demonstration from trombone player Professor John Kerry.

These animal-headed bronze instruments were used by Celtic tribes across Europe to inspire warriors into battle.

Among the old British Celts, a newborn prince would often be given to another family to raise until he became an adult. In some early King Arthur stories, Arthur is raised by the fairies. In later stories, he's instead raised by Sir Ector, the father of Kay (Arthur's best friend).
